Shoes

Happy New Year All!

Did anyone else come out of the holiday season with new shoes? I bought a pair during the clearance event at John Lewis. While they aren't the highest narrowest heel ever, they are the highest and narrowest that I've ever owned...



I'm starting a desk job in two weeks time, so if nothing else I can wear them for sitting down. *g*

I feel like this challenge could also make a fun guessing game in terms of the canon source.

( Hint: They were Clyde Livingston's Shoes... )

This challenge should have been up ages ago, but I was planning a really beautiful banner that would have required me to screencap and it just wasn't getting done. Today I decided that getting on with it is probably more important than my sense of aesthetics, so here we are and let the Fandom Shoe challenge begin immediately.

The timing of this challenge is going to be a little different, mostly to allow participants lots of time for any necessary screencaping. This challenge will run right up until the end of the year; however, for those who aren't interested in Fandom Shoes, I intend to run a mini-challenge concurrently. The first week of December will be Winter Boots week (our Southern hemisphere members are invited to gloat with posts of Summer footwear), which should add a bit of variety to the community.


A reminder of how our challenges work:

-Anyone can participate!
-We post shoe photos in a given theme for a period of time and then vote for our favourite pair.
-You can make multiple posts if you feel so inclined.
- We vote at the end in two categories: the pair we would most like to own/wear, and general awesomeness.

The Crack!Shoes challenge is now closed for submissions. Thank you to everybody who contributed!

The poll has two categories, one for crack quality and one for wanting to have/own. I've left the options as numbers on the poll because quite a few of the submissions lacked details on who they were designed by.

I suppose if I had these I would be able to reach the top shelves in the kitchen...

Not the same Tove Jansson who wrote the Moomin books.

According to the internet these chain shoes won the first prize in a design competition at the Nordic Shoe and Bag Fair in Stockholm.
